Chapter 508: Hunting Time Has Arrived!

Hunting Time Has Arrived!

Cheng Shi knocking on Aflos's door had no special purpose, just simply to thank the other party for their generosity.

After the two chatted for a few words and dispersed, he also returned to the residential house in Cannar City.

Da Yi had already left to participate in the hunt. Cheng Shi looked around, confirmed that there was no one around, learned Da Yi's appearance and sat in the sofa, starting to consider how to end this trial.

Don't forget, this is first a trial of 【Decay】, and everyone seeking 【Scourge's Gift】 is just an interlude in this trial.

It cannot be denied that in this trial, there are indeed people who were matched in because they prayed for 【Scourge's Gift】, but the problem is that things of this level are not necessarily obtained just by praying, otherwise Poison wouldn't have prayed for so long without finding it.

This is like the 【Fate】 trial Cheng Shi prayed for before. The opportunity to take the Conjugate Whisper Fruit only exists in a flash. If you grasp it, you will naturally find it, but if you miss that only opportunity, the players who prayed will just act as a background board for history again.

And this is also the reason why Cheng Shi gave up searching directly after hearing that the First Prince was eaten, and changed to doing other things.

The clue is broken.

The person involved who could recall what happened to the dagger died, and it's easy to say if they died. After all, Cheng Shi still has the opportunity to ask the dead, but being eaten is...

So Cheng Shi decisively changed his thinking and started seeking other benefits for himself. He couldn't risk running into a trial and end up with no harvest, right?

So he placed the way of harvesting on the players. He thought that if he could open up several information channels in this trial and harvest several tools, it would be considered a steady profit.

At least at present, Cheng Shi is already very satisfied.

But there is room for improvement, for example... winning the trial.

Everything today developed too fast. From the beginning of the trial to now, although everyone has fought several rounds of intrigue, the problem is that it is still the first day. In a trial that lasts 5 days, Cheng Shi seems to have swept away all the roads and can free up time to study this trial and win it.

After all, a trial adds a lot of points.

He pondered carefully for a moment, recalling all his cognition about 【Decay】, and finally found that the breakthrough of this trial might be related to the so-called "mercy" in Aflos's mouth.

The trial of 【Decay】 is actually very interesting. Although the will of this god is to advocate decay, His trial never forces players to decay.

There is only one purpose in the trial He bestowed, and that is to make one or a group of specific targets convert to 【Decay】 according to the prompts!

Yes, His target is not the players, but those NPCs in the trial who have long since disappeared into history.

From a certain angle, His trial is somewhat like the trial of 【Prosperity】. 【Prosperity】 needs to maintain prosperity, while 【Decay】 wants to expand decay.

According to previous 【Decay】 trials, knowing the identity of those trial targets basically understands the difficulty of this trial.

For example, in a city where a hundred schools of faith contend, it is naturally very simple to influence an ordinary person without any faith; but in a rainforest tribe that is extremely pious to 【Prosperity】, to transform a priest of the tribe or a clan leader, the difficulty is imaginable.

But the problem Cheng Shi is facing is more complicated than spreading 【Decay】 in a 【Prosperity】 tribe, because under his feet is the divine kingdom of 【Decay】, and everyone here believes in 【Decay】.

The only group of people who look not very pious... have left Cannar City through the teleportation array.

You can't let the destroyers eyeing outside the city turn to believe in 【Decay】, right?

That would be too outrageous.

【Decay】 hasn't headed toward 【Annihilation】, 【Annihilation】 instead needs to reverse the car back to 【Decay】?

"..."

Not very likely.

Cheng Shi has actually been thinking about whether they descended too late, and the target of this trial happens to be making the Rosna royal family return to piety?

But later, after communicating with Aflos, he realized.

He seems to have thought of a way to win this trial.

Making 【Decay】 more decayed... this is like making 【Prosperity】 more prosperous, both are good propositions...

After clearing up the ideas in his heart, Cheng Shi let out a long breath, stood up, and walked toward the outside.

He didn't know which stage the hunt had reached, but now, he, who had a plan in mind, could also participate in this hunt.

Of course, he did have the intention to add help to the hunter, but it was more out of stability. He was a little worried that if the prey broke free from the encirclement, they would turn back and fight him, the lone hunter.

I, a priest, can't beat a warrior.

But speaking of priests...

"At this time, the importance of old Zhang can be seen. He is never afraid of these, because he can't die at all."

Cheng Shi laughed at himself, faced the sky full of wind and snow and the gradually darkening sky, and followed the trail in the city.

On the other side.

Jiang Chi is exhausted and has been caught up.

He swore that he had escaped early enough, and even paid enough attention to Cheng Shi's revenge.

In his view, the moment Cheng Shi finished dealing with Poison, perhaps these three hunters would turn back to deal with himself, and Da Yi, that shrewd rough guy, was not worth continuing to cooperate with. Helpless, he could only slip away in advance.

But what he didn't expect was that after hiding for so long, he still couldn't escape.

This is a classic tug-of-war chase between hunter and prey. He had confidence in hiding, but the bad thing was that there was a real hunter in the other party's hunter team!

That 【Silent】 chameleon is too good at finding people, and soon broke through the various camouflage interferences he left in the city, chasing in the direction where he really was.

There are still three hunters, but the Fate Weaver is not seen, and his partner Poison, not only didn't die but became a new hunter.

Looking at this outrageous scene, Jiang Chi's expression was complicated.

"Miss Poison, since you didn't die, then our cooperation... still continues?"

Poison stood on the far right of the three, looking at Jiang Chi who had nowhere to escape under the city wall, her brows raised, but she didn't speak.

She knew this was the other party using a divorce scheme, but the problem was that the other party didn't know at all what kind of cooperation form this hunter team of hers had stabilized into.

She didn't know very well either, but this didn't prevent her from knowing that the point that made the team stable was not on the scene.

And this meant that even if Jiang Chi's tongue bloomed with lotus flowers, it was impossible to soften the killing intent of the hunters on the scene by a single point.

So she teased and smiled:

"Sorry, I'm just a puppet of desire manipulated by a persimmon, I don't know how to answer your question."

"..."

Pretending to be stupid again!

Jiang Chi's face sank, he looked at Gong Yangjiao who was standing in the middle with a ferocious face and said: "He killed you, yet you are helping him? Gong, since when did the Scream Earl who feeds on fear start to fear!?"

Gong Yangjiao sneered and spat hard: "You don't care if I fear or not, you fear is enough!"

"..."

Jiang Chi's face was darker. He turned to look at the direction where the chameleon was hiding his figure, opened his mouth, and didn't say anything.

"..."

Can't play, this round can't play at all.

"It seems... I must fight for my life!"

After saying that, Jiang Chi's eyes revealed solemnity, his right hand held the hour-hand longsword high in front of his chest, his left hand took out a pocket watch and held it in his hand, waiting for the hunters' first move in the wind and snow that hit his face with nervous tension.

In this situation, he couldn't make the first move, because as long as he moved, the other two who were not targets would seize the opportunity to find flaws and take his life at the first time.

Time passed minute by minute, and none of the four people confronting each other moved first.

The wind was wilder, the snow was heavier, and the sky was darker.

A few minutes ago, the dissipation of light was still like drawing silk, but now, in the blink of an eye, this sky woven by light was torn apart roughly.

It was dark, the night of Cannar City had arrived, and the pocket watch in Jiang Chi's hand even made an hourly chime.

And just at the moment when the night fell, a dazzling light passed over the highest point of the city wall above Jiang Chi's head, falling like a meteor.

"Damn it, waiting and waiting and still not moving, I don't have this patience!" ===== CHAPTER 509 =====
